Special Passport Day This Saturday, Sept. 30
The Arkansas Passport Center in Hot Springs is hosting a special passport day on Saturday, Sept. 30, as part of the U.S. Department of State's Passport Awareness Month.
This year, the State Department's public awareness campaign focuses on the benefits of getting a U.S. passport card and how both products (the passport book and card) are great forms of photo ID. The event on Saturday is a convenient way to apply for the first time or renew your passport.
- Day: Saturday, Sept. 30
- Time: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Location: 191 Office Park Drive, Hot Springs, AR. 71913
- Payment: Credit card, personal check, exact cash (no change is given)
Applicants may choose routine service (4-6 weeks) or expedited service (2-3 weeks). Expedited service costs an additional $60. Appointments are not required but may reduce your wait time. Please call the National Passport Information at 1-877-487-2778 to schedule an appointment. Walk in applicants are welcomed and will be served on a first come first serve basis.
